$generateHtmlFromNodes: Empty editor returns <p><br><p>?!?

[nerdess]

I tried this in the playground https://playground.lexical.dev/ and also locally on my Lexical instance, same odd result.

When I remove all nodes and click on "exportDOM" in the tree view I get this:

I think this is really confusing. An empty editor should return "" and not "<p><br></p>" when running $generateHtmlFromNodes.

Or am I missing sth?

@nerdess Feels strange indeed, but that's how it's working. I've added a regex expression to replace it with empty string if that's all it contains when persisting editor to html.
